Welcome back to The Week in Weed, your Friday look at
what’s happening in the world of legalized marijuana.
Following up on last week’s look at New Mexico,
a cannabis legalization bill has passed the
Senate Public Affairs committee. Next step: the Senate Judiciary
Committee.
New York is also looking at legalization (again).
Just like true love, the course of cannabis in the Empire State is
not running smooth, as the governor and the legislature are working out
some differences of opinion in how the measure should be passed and
where the funds raised would go.
Connecticut is also pondering the legalization question. Lawmakers plan to
introduce a legalization bill in the upcoming session; some have
doubts that it will pass.
